Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 22
Episode 22
First Arrangement
‘I did it…!’
Elric shouted in joy when his gamble paid off.
The plan was to ignore defense and focus only on destructive power, neutralizing the Snow Mountain King’s blizzard for a very brief moment and launching a hand-to-hand assault to win the match.
Actually, I didn’t think this would be successful.
However, as my operations have been repeatedly failing recently, I tried this method to make a new breakthrough, but I never thought it would be so successful!
Because tearing down the shadow of the Snow Mountain King was the greatest achievement so far. Cutting off her left arm was nothing short of a miracle.
However, Elric’s joy did not last long.
Even though the Snow Mountain King was injured, he spread his right hand wide and covered it with no signs of pain or shaking.
The magical energy that had been condensed in my palm exploded.
A skill that Elric named ‘Ice Heat’ early on.
It was the Snow Mountain King’s signature skill that had tremendous destructive power and resulted in him being ‘outed’ several times.
Crumbling –
Elric instinctively fell flat on his back and rolled on the ground.
“Shit! I can’t give myself a chance to like it. “Tsk!”
Elric rushed back, spitting blood mixed with phlegm on the ground.
Unlike spitting out curses, there was a big smile on the corner of his mouth.
at las.
Because I was able to absorb ‘some’ of the Snow Mountain King’s seal.
Pass-
Elric stretched out his hand towards the left arm of the Snow Mountain King, who was falling down at the same time.
Then, the left arm broke into small pieces like a sand castle and was completely absorbed into the seal.
Whoa!
The 3-star seal of cruelty has taken on a clearer form. A stream was depicted flowing in front of three mountains.
This means that we are starting to enter 4 stars.
Exciting!
My heart beat much faster than when I absorbed any other seal.
Elric was sure.
It is said that one seal absorbed now has a greater effect than defeating three or four Yeti captains.
just as expected.
Many fragmentary thoughts were passing through my mind quickly and indiscriminately.
The knowledge of the Snow Mountain King contained within the seal.
Quack, quack, quack, quack!
Kurrrrr
Elric smiled in remorse as he activated the seal magic again.
gradually.
It seemed like the end was in sight.
* * *
A world full of nothing but darkness.
She slowly opened her eyes.
It felt like I had had a long sleep. My mind was blank.
‘I… who am I?’
By the time she frowned in confusion.
A voice passed through my mind.
A voice so full of majesty that it seems impossible to disobey.
-‘Recognition’… It’s so funny that your race, which is so old, says that even though we’ve long since forgotten our true name. Do you even know how much that is asking for?
-But if you still want to be greedy until the end…
-Okay. Try to ‘prove’ it. This is proof that you are worthy of being part of our clan.
* * *
It was not long after that that Elric realized the change in the Snow Mountain King’s abnormality.
‘Magic energy is shaking?’
Ripples were being drawn in the shadow that had surrounded the Snow Mountain King like a solid armor until now.
As if it would pour down at any moment.
Kuaa!
The Snow Mountain King’s complexion was seen shaking for the first time, as if he was embarrassed by his own change.
‘now!’
Elric did not miss the opportunity and launched an even bigger attack.
Kwakwakwak!
The shadow swayed more. The torn magic energy flew into the air. The Snow Mountain King could not withstand the bombardment and retreated little by little. As such, Elric’s steps were unstoppable.
Elric absorbed the shattered demonic energy fragments one after another. As the seals that made up the Snow Mountain King were eaten little by little, the growth rate became steeper.
Muscle fibers became more detailed. Magical energy circulation has become more active. The mana rod has become more dense.
More than anything.
The movements and magic of the Snow Mountain King, which had been close to forced imitation, became natural.
Elric himself seemed to be the King of the Snow Mountain.
Assimilation.
You can see it that way.
On the other hand, the Snow Mountain King was different.
She felt like she was losing herself.
The snowstorm has weakened. My movements became sluggish and my hands and feet began to wander a little. The ice was not created properly and the magic composition was constantly misaligned, so it was often canceled.
Such a sight.
It seemed as if the existence of the ‘Snow Mountain King’ was being completely taken away by Elric.
In the process. Elric was able to understand little by little what Otto Han said.
-As I said, I definitely never told you to take it down. I just told him to swallow it.
-You are trying to ‘understand’ the Snow Mountain King. The seal is not just about extortion, it is also necessary to understand it deeply. This is a very good posture.
Absorbing the seal did not simply mean stealing the demon’s talents and abilities.
It meant swallowing the entire existence of the demon race itself!
Crumble-
‘He’s a pure fraud.’ ‘You’re asking for something more difficult than winning.’
A laugh came out naturally.
If it were as easy as it sounds, who would go through the trouble?
All you have to do is steal what others have achieved.
Karma is great because it is karma.
Also, it is karma because it is exhausting.
Karma is worshiped and respected because it is riddled with hardships and trials so difficult that ordinary people cannot even dare to step on them.
The karma accumulated by the King of Snow Mountain was also like that.
I discovered and refined the true name of the Yeti that everyone had forgotten.
He wanted to put the race proudly back on the rock.
There were many obstacles along the way, but she defeated them each time and made her name known to the world.
The reason the Yeti, even after declining again, still wanted to honor her name and leave it as a legend was so as not to forget her great achievements.
Otto Han told Elric to steal the work of the Snow Mountain King.
It was an arrangement that was nothing short of a thief’s will.
‘Well, if it’s really mine, the story will be different.’
As the head of the Mervinger family, Elric tried to accept such a cowardly order from his ancestor without any hesitation.
so that.
Passu-
Hwaaah!
I could see it.
The life of the Snow Mountain King contained within the fragments of several broken seals.
-Keeek! The demon god gave an oracle! This girl becomes our queen! Leading the plateau! The mountains become ours! The North will be trampled under our feet!
Originally, King Seolsan was the successor to a tribe leader who was raised with high expectations from the time he was born.
And she had far greater qualities than expected. For a foolish yeti, he was also brilliant, and by the time he became an adult, he was ready to unify the plateau and spread his power across the entire Georyong Mountain Range.
But the King of Seolsan’s ambitions did not stop there.
-We Yetis were members of the great demon race! Now let’s start the journey to regain that lost position!
The Snow Mountain King was confident.
She was young, strong and had a lot of power. Humans were trampled and various races fell to their knees.
The declaration that he would become a demon and become a demon king himself seemed like it would come true soon.
but.
-Try to prove it. That you guys deserve it.
When I met Mephistopheles. The Snow Mountain King crashed into the wall for the first time. The wall was so high that I had no idea how to get over it.
Still, the King of Snow Mountain tried his best. I honed my true name and tried to evolve my seal. I thought that I would be able to receive Mephistopheles’ recognition if I became the Demon King rather than the commander-in-chief.
But in the meantime, the King of Snow Mountain was encountered.
A wall perhaps even more rugged than Mephistopheles.
‘Otto Han Mervinger.’
Otto Han led the Gasols to stop the Yetis, who had escaped from the Geolong Mountains and were trampling on numerous kingdoms.
And they defeated them with overwhelming skill and drove them back to the Georyong Mountains. As if that wasn’t enough, even the plateau was devastated so that it could never rise again.
All livelihoods were destroyed.
-You humans already have everything! Why won’t we even let ourselves have something now!
The Snow Mountain King cried out with the feeling that he was vomiting blood, but Otto Han did not even pretend to listen.
Rather, he stayed in the Georyong Mountains and became his own watchdog, watching over the Snow Mountain King.
The strange cohabitation of the Snow Mountain King and Otto Han began right then.
It is a later story that Otto Han remains a ‘friend’ of the Snow Mountain King rather than an enemy among the Yetis today.
It was the result of the Yeti’s manipulation of the legend, as they wanted to hide the complicated story and defeat between the two people.
However, what is certain is that Otto Han remained an obstacle that the Snow Mountain King could never overcome throughout his life.
They had such a special relationship with her that they recognized her enough to build her own tomb.
“…It seems like I was being treated like a doll just like he said.”
Then, when the demon energy was almost gone, the snowstorm that had been blowing along the Snow Mountain King stopped as if it were a lie.
The Snow Mountain King was looking at Elric with somewhat focused eyes.
Thanks to this, the ice arrows shooting at her stopped midway.
“Are you awake?”
“little.”
Even though the King of Snow Mountain lost many of his magic weapons and seals.
The look in his eyes was very intense.
The majesty of a being who once controlled the Giant Dragon Mountain Range and surpassed the level of the Demon King.
“It looks like you are a descendant from the distant future he mentioned… Hehe! Still, it was enough to alleviate my madness to some extent, so it seems like the rant wasn’t really a lie.”
Him.
The Snow Mountain King was calling Otto Han that way.
As if calling an old lover.
Elric looked at her like that and tried to be polite.
Regardless of the fight I had with her, I couldn’t help but respect her because I had seen some of the karma she had accumulated.
but.
“stop. “What are you doing?”
He looked sad for a moment.
The Snow Mountain King returned with sharp eyes and glared at Elric.
“That’s it…!”
“Weren’t you my enemy?”
A firm tone.
Elric’s eyes widened slightly.
“The fight is not over yet. Even though I ended up like this through a wrong choice, that doesn’t mean I have to feel sympathy for the enemy. If you want to be polite, do your best to defeat me. “I wonder if that will be enough.”
In the eyes of the Snow Mountain King, did this seem like a weak sympathy?
Elric thought that maybe that was right.
In fact, there were many sad parts of the life of King Seolsan, which we only briefly glimpsed.
But the Snow Mountain King rejected that view.
He wants to remain a king and warrior who will lead his clan until the end.
so that.
Elric composed himself.
And he decided to do his best to devour everything of the Snow Mountain King.
Kwaaaaang!
Kwa Kwa Kwa –
Blizzard and blizzard collided.
One rotated clockwise and the other counterclockwise, causing shock waves to spread in all directions.
The ice sheet cracked and pieces of ice rose high into the air.
and.
Damn it –
Elric immediately burrowed deep into the arms of the Snow Mountain King and struck his chest.
bang!
The spot where the palm struck.
There was a hollow air hole the size of a human head.
Ice fever.
The signature skill that the Snow Mountain King was proud of was returned intact.
The Snow Mountain King looked down at his chest and smiled in satisfaction.
“It was pretty good…!”
Puhwaak!
The Snow Mountain King could not continue speaking for a long time.
Because my body was completely destroyed along with the vomiting of blood.
Tsutsutsu –
The magic energy that made up the Snow Mountain King was completely sucked into the back of Elric’s right hand.
The seal of cruelty has a new look.
A glacier flowing through three icebergs.
It has achieved a complete 4 star rating.
“…Whew!”
Elric took a deep breath and raised his head.
It was the moment the first arrangement ended.
Wizard who swallowed talent
